Spring is on the way, which means it’s time to start thinking about your spring cleaning. Across the world, it’s a tradition that come spring, we take the time to clean our homes from top to bottom. We’re not talking just your usual jobs, everything from the floors to the ceilings have to be spotless. It’s also the perfect time for getting rid of any old junk you no longer want and making your home more organized.
The only downside to spring cleaning is that the concept can be a little overwhelming. You see, with so many areas to think about, it’s easy to get stressed out. The good news is that to ensure your spring cleaning is as straightforward and as stress-free as possible, we’ve put together this guide. Take these tips on board and spring cleaning your house will be a breeze.
Write a list of what needs to be done. For each room, put together a list of what needs to be done. This should include every job that you need to complete before finishing your spring clean. It’s easy to forget little things, so writing a list can be incredibly useful. If you’re unsure what to include on your to-do list, have a browse online… don’t forget to include the obvious things. Instead of writing the list on paper, put it in your smartphone. That way you’re less likely to lose it.
Focus on one room at a time. Instead of focusing on one job at a time, such as the hoovering, focus on one room at a time. Start at the top of the house and spend time focusing on each room individually. This will ensure that you don’t forget to do anything and will make it easier not to spread dirt around. You should find that the satisfaction you get from seeing one room sparkling clean spurs you on to keep going.
Make things easier for yourself. The great thing about cleaning is you can make things incredibly easy for yourself; it’s just a case of knowing how. You can make cleaning hard for yourself, or if you’re smart about the methods you use, you can make it quick and easy.
For example, instead of dusting with a feather duster, use a Duster Buster, aka a mini vacuum. Or, to make cleaning the floors a little easier, vacuum and then use a steam mop. The great thing about steam cleaning is that it makes keeping both your carpets and hard floors clean, much easier. Steam cleaning works wonders on hard floors removing dirt and grime, but the benefits of carpet cleaning in this way are even better. Steam cleaning kills bacteria, removes scents and gets rid of stains.
Be smart about the order you do things in. Often, when we’re cleaning, we end up making more mess for ourselves by not doing our jobs in the right order. For instance, if your list of jobs includes dusting, hoovering, and washing the floors, it’s important to get the order of the jobs right. For instance, it would be best to dust first, so that if any dust drops onto the floor, you don’t need to hoover again.
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be difficult; it’s just a case of knowing what you’re doing… as well as the best cleaning methods to use.
